Settings > Filters> create a new filter:

From: domain.com > Next Step > Tick "Delete It" >> Update filter.

Should do it.

Are you sure that you filled out the form correctly and that there is mail from the domain in your account? I just tested a filter like that (mail from one domain) and it worked correctly. Maybe the mail has dodgy address headers (from, reply-to and more).
